Boy, Did I Feel Stupid!

Ok, true story here.

A while back I was working the night shift and was relieved to have a few days off. On those days off I would sleep at night so I could spend time with hubby.

One night I was reading a really good book and had the lights on over the bed, I had a bit of a headache and had taken a couple of tylenol pm. Hubby was still up on the computer and didn't come to bed till much later. Well, I managed to rouse up thinking I had only dozed off for a minute or two and it was complete darkness!!! I panicked! I jumped out of bed and screeched, "Oh my God, I've gone freakin' blind!!!!!!", and took of running and ran right into the bathroom door head first.:eek:

My husband casually clicked on the light and looked at me and said, "Why is it that when people think they've gone blind they just take off running?"

I had no answer for that. I just know that's one of my greatest fears and thought that the headache was a precursor to my blindness. I panicked and couldn't breathe so I just took off running to see I find a source of light somewhere. I kept our room completely dark so I could sleep days so at night it's pitch black.

Oh well, just one of many moments that I'm not really proud of.

(Weeeee...My 500th post! OK, go back to sleep everybody.)

Well, I had another "moment" yesterday. I adopted a kitten and was trying to get her and my groceries in the house. We have 2 steps that lead up to our back door. Well, kitty claws the crap out of me and takes off and I start to take off after her and I end up missing a step completely and bust my butt. I grabbed hold of the doorknob and when I landed I still had the doorknob in my hand. Great, now we need a knew knob.:uhoh21: I totally stripped that one out!

oh gosh, if my husband stood over me with a bat i would have freaked out too! hehe nerd...that just cracked me up. going after a spunky with a bat! :rotfl:

one time my dad was having a nightmare about a fuzzy dog climbing up the wall and when it got on the ceiling it fell on him. he kicked the wall so hard he got sheet rock under his big toe and to this day that toenail is about 1/2" thick!! this was about 20 years ago or so. :eek:

i'm such a clutz, i've had so many "moments" here lately, that i'm beginning to wonder if i'm turning 11 again! hmmm....that's a thought....:idea:

Oh you guys, you're killing me! Too funny!

i ran an arrand to a local pharmacy and enjoyed looking around for awhile one morning after i got off work. i had stopped at home and changed into my comfy-not-at-work clothes. i got home and as soon as i walked in the door, my phone rang. my husband's grandmother lives across the street and she was calling to tell me that either my pants were ripped or i had paper stuck to my bottom. yeah, that's right. the entire left buttcheek of my pants was ripped out. (i told her "oh, it was a piece of paper, thanks!") i can only pray that i ripped them getting back into my car from the store, otherwise since i didn't feel it at all, i was probally moseying around the store with my butt hanging out. good thing i don't go to that store very often in the mornings :bugeyes::eek::cool:

LOL Nursebella3!:roll

I ripped my shorts at the lake one time and I just couldn't figure out why I felt so breezy! Finally, after a few laughs at my expense, my husband finally told me.
